   It would not. Apple complicated the intel version. Search YouTube, I am sure there are some links on here.

   The arrows and stuff were actually done with YouTube. That was before Google, so I don’t know if they still have the tool. to do it. It’s been a while, so I am not sure where in the YouTube editing software it was at. The video itself was made on the Mac.

   Great video. That looked even easier than replacing a hard drive on an old imac G3.  Unfortunately I would have to take my current 20″ into the shop to replace the hard drive. I have seen a video on replacing one on it and it scared me to death on all you had to do to get to the hard drive.
